In continuation of my despatch No.53 of the 10th March last, I have the honour to forward for your information copy of a further correspondence with the Government of India relative to the proposed survey of the New Territory, from which you will observe that arrangements have practically been completed for the work to be undertaken by a survey party which may be expected to arrive in Hong Kong in about 3 months' time.
2. The terms suggested by the Indian Government appear to be very reasonable, the salaries and allowances of the party amounting to only $15,000 per annum, which is considerably below the Director of Public Works' estimate contained in his memorandum forwarded in my despatch under reference. To this sum must of course be added cost of passages, rent of quarters, offices and other contingencies.
